Abstract

In the process of students’ learning English pronunciation, some pronunciation errors caused by the negative transfer of Chinese are caused. If these negative transfer effects of Chinese cannot be overcome, it will hinder the improvement of students’ listening and speaking skills. This article analyzes the impact of negative dialect transfer on English phonetics learning from three aspects: phoneme, coherent pronunciation and intonation, and proposes some coping strategies, hoping to instruct teachers to help students overcome the impact of negative dialect transfer and improve their English pronunciation level during the listening and speaking teaching process.

Highlights

  • Many domestic scholars have made comparisons between Mandarin, dialects and English pronunciation, and some discussions have been made to talk about the influence of dialects on foreign language learning

  • The accurate mastery of English pronunciation plays an important role in improving the comprehensive English ability of second language learners, because the accuracy of the pronunciation will directly affect the accuracy of listening, the learning of vocabulary and the progress of oral communication [1, 2]

  • If students can overcome the influence of negative transfer from dialects in the process of learning pronunciation, their English pronunciation will be closer to the pronunciation of English native speakers
